Zenit St. Petersburg is considering the sale of Brazil winger Malcolm in the January transfer window despite having bought him barely two weeks ago from Spanish giants Barcelona. The former Bordeaux winger was racially abused from a section of his own fans while making his debut last weekend.

The St.Petersburg fans apparently held a banner that claimed ‘Keep our tradition and do not sign black players’ and also chanted racists slurs against their new signing.

Malcom joined Barcelona from French side Bordeaux in 2018 but found playtime hard to come by at the Camp Nou and was sold to the Russian club for an initial fee of €40 million which could rise to €45 million.
